It's literally three command lines to build a bootcd after you've installed the BE and checked out the source code. How is that possibly so difficult? Nevertheless, some people managed, literally, to "lose their way in a three-pine forest" (in broad daylight, that is). And no, they are no...

And I'd object to that if the same functionality does not exist on Windows. There is already functionality that does not exist on Windows. For example, Windows have no ReactOS Applications Manager. :) Depending on registry settings, Windows allows to automatically start a program (a debugger) when ...

When it writes "Hello, World!" to a graphical terminal window with TrueType font, the TrueType bytecode interpreter is invoked. If the whole GUI code is interpreted, it's just another step in that direction.

I have no idea. What I propose is to extend ReactOS' CSRSS…

No, OS code. The application code should be native machine code, that's what BlackRabbit wants.

Where are the scripts?

configure.cmd

CSRSS is informed when a process starts, when it exits, when it crashes. How can we see which app was run by the user and which by, say, task sheduler or by a system process (improper example: shutdown.exe was run by rundll32.exe)? How can we decide on the main binary of Firefox, if it spawns update...

The aforementioned Java-based GUI code is not a part of your C/C++ code. Your program just invokes it. It is merely an implementation detail, whether the OS code is native code or interpreted code.

The ReactOS documentation is in a mess… A guy on the Russian subforum struggles to build ReactOS with Visual Studio / RosBE (it turned out that he uses old sources from ReactOS-0.3.14-REL-src.zip).

Нужно пользоваться свежими исходниками из SVN. Релизу-то уж второй год пошёл!

Какая ошибка? Ревизия 58591 должна собираться без ошибок.

1.5.1.

Сборка ReactOS — дело нехитрое. Никаких „извращений” не требуется, каждая ревизия автоматически собирается на сервере с помощью и RosBE, и Visual Studio.

Да, кстати, ninja не нуждается в make.

But relying in the screenshots is not the best way to test ReactOS ;)

I think it could help to detect some graphical bugs.

[…] как получить список запущенных в системе процессов?

С помощью функции ZwQuerySystemInformation(SystemProcessInformation, …, …, …).

There is no need to have a special driver, the functionality could be added to reactos' csrss (and turned on/off by some registry key).

The server, not the browser (client), should detect it.
